CALVIN N. ROBINSON

    By his splendid business ability and sterling characteristics Calvin N.
Robinson has won not only prosperity, but likewise the unqualified regard of his
associates throughout Winters and vicinity, to the development of which he has
contributed most generously.

    Born January 28, 1875, in Nevada, Mr. Robinson came a year later to Yolo
county, Cal., brought hither by his parents, who came originally from New York.
In 1881 they moved to Solano county, remaining there for two years, and then
returned to Yolo county, where C. N. Robinson has since lived and which place he
has made the field of his labors. The only child of his parents, he was given a
thorough education in the public schools which was later supplemented by a
course at the Atkinson Business College in Sacramento. Starting out in life for
himself he first purchased forty-three acres on Putah creek and later added
sixty-six acres to his holdings, his property being now divided as follows:
apricots, ten acres; peaches and plums, twenty-five acres; grapes, fifteen
acres; and tomatoes, three acres; the remainder of land comprising the grounds
surrounding his comfortable home. In 1910 he sold thirty-three tons of apricots
and shipped two thousand boxes of peaches, his tomatoes yielding three and
one-third tons to the acre and his vineyard producing twelve hundred boxes for
which he received $1.25 per box. He is also engaged in raising hay and stock,
for which he finds a ready market.

    Mr. Robinson was united in marriage with Miss Anna Hall, whose birth
occurred in Texas, and whose parents migrated to California when she was but a
child. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have three children, Florence M., Zelda E. and Baby.

   Mr. Robinson is a Republican, intelligently interested in political
developments and is a member of Acacia Camp No. 170, W. O. W., and the Christian
Church of Winters, in which his wife also holds active membership, endeavoring
at all times to lend his best efforts to the progress of the community and the
welfare of his fellow citizens.
